Customer Reviews

Beautiful, gripping

This is a beautifully-written book that was also gripping from the first page to the last. I actually shed a tear towards the end -- but it is not a sad book. It is an inspiring book that teaches children about an unusual subject: gender equality. I would love to see more books like this for the young girls of today.
